Darker than Black (DTB) Report!

Sep 22, 2009 21:48

Well, finally I moved up my lazy butt to write a report about a new anime series I finished to watch recentely. I mean "Darker than Black".

I spent around two weeks watching it with Spanish subs, and I what I have to say is it's an odd series.

Here goes the first opening...

El primer opening me encanta, sobre todo el guitarreo previo ( ... )

Se me olvidaba...A mí November 11 no me recuerda a Van, si no a Solomon.

Jajajjajaja! Pues sí, al menos físicamente es clavado-clavado a Solomon... parece que fueran primos o así. Pero por el caracter tan metijón que tiene y sus aires elegantes, también me recuerda a Van.

La canción del AMV, sí, a mí casi me gusta más la versión de Subway to Sally... tal vez porque es la original, o porque la voz quebrada del cantante va muy bien con la letra ( ... )

La verdad es que tengo con esta serie Deja Vu porque me suena un montón todo lo que has dicho (bueno no todo porque no entiendo muy bien el inglés n.nu)
El Op tampoco es que me llame mucho: sobretodo un Op donde salga una tía sexy tipo película James Bond

Perdona, tendría que haber hecho una versión en español, pero por dejadez, lo deje así. >_<
Bueno, el opening es bastante sosete, y la música también... pero es que la hizo Yoko Kano!! Se ve claramente que en este caso, la compositora se durmió en los laureles y/o se puso a vivir del cuento.
Ah, la chica del opening! Te puedo asegurar que NO hay nada de eso en esta serie. Es muy "seria" y de diseño realista, como muchos animes que se están haciendo ahora. La chica que dices en realidad es una niña: se hace más y más joven cada vez que usa sus poderes, así que imagina cómo acaba.

Te recomiendo que la veas, es cortita y muy entretenida.

Lately I've noticed a clear evolution in anime. It's pretty obvious if you take a look at the later Slayers series (for example) and you compare them with newest series such like "FullMetal Alchemist", "Blood+", "DeathNote",I think you're right, and I think it's at least partily because the audience of anime, at least in wester countries, has been changing for some time now. More and more adults seem to be watching anime. Of course, silly stuff and such is still being made, but it seems that more attention is paid to series like DN. Well, that's at least one theory. Could be just the reflection of the times. Personally, I mostly avoid too depressing stuff. I get that enought from real life ( ... )

Indeed. There is certain change in the type of anime that is being available among westerm countries. Perhaps this is the current tendency, to be more "Realistic" and "serious", as the older animes tend to be more the typical manga style (very big eyes, coloured hairs, the same-face-for-all-characteres, etc...) I don't know if it's because we, western fans, are getting interested in those animes... or if it's because this is the current tendency in Japan.

I like DN, too. And this is perhaps one of the most realistic human portraits I've seen in anime. None character is pick haired, for example. Still, DN fandom and real DN has nothing to do with each other... that's why I avoid the fandom >_I can understand why DTB didn't hook you. I has an odd approach to storyline, and certainly it seems you never will get enough explications about what's going on. The end is... an end, but yeah, it could have a sequel. Perhaps the reasons you pointed out are the cause DTB isn't very popular. I tried to put aside those facts I(perhaps a second view ( ... )
